With FC4 for example I cannot remove a snapshot while the underlying logical volume is under heavy I/O. Once all I/O stops I can remove the snapshot. Doing a lvremove will hang.
Interesting.I am using this on a Gentoo system using vanilla kernel 2.6.15.1, and my volumes don't experience 'heavy I/O' at the times I make backups, so it shouldn't be too bad.
Thanks for the info :-)
